Custom configuration file for different solution projects

I have more than one solution projects for an application with using one app.config for each solution.

Can i do a separate configuration file (other than app.config) for common setting like db name (connection string) ? Because currently i put these setting in each and every app.config file.

Please try following.

  1. Create one config called "common.config" like below which will be common to all solutions and let's say it's located @ "E:/myconfig". Please keep all common setting in this config.

    <appSettings> <add key="connstring" value="conn string value" /> </appSettings>

  2. Now link this common config in you specific solution config lets say web.config using file attribute

    <configuration>

    <appSettings file="E:\myconfig\Common.config"> <add key="key1" value="value" />

    </appSettings>

</configuration>

Hope this will work for you.
